๐ How Peer Feedback Works
- Wait for the session to open โ The facilitator will unlock scoring when it's time
- Score each peer โ Assign one score to each group member using forced ranking (10, 9, 8, 7, then 5s)
- Write feedback for everyone โ Complete "I choose to follow you because..." for each peer
- Submit before time runs out โ Complete all scores and feedback, then click Submit
Your scores are anonymous โ peers will see their average score but not who gave what.

๐ Facilitator Quick Guide
Before the session:
- Import students via the Import tab (Name, Email, Role format)
- Shuffle groups to create group assignments for this session
- Share the room code with students (displayed at top of screen)
Running each activity:
- Set timer (10-15 mins recommended)
- Click "Start & Unlock" to open scoring
- Monitor completion in the Groups tab
- Click "Stop & Lock" when complete or time runs out
Between sessions:
- Select next session (Session 2, 3, or 4)
- Shuffle groups again to create new combinations
- Leadership rotation happens automatically (3 HoH rotate into Heads group)

๐ Normalized Scoring Methodology
1. The Challenge
In the Levee peer feedback system, students score their group peers using a forced ranking distribution. Each student must allocate specific scores to their peers:
| Rank | Score | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | 10 | Exceptional leader |
| 2nd | 9 | Strong leader |
| 3rd | 8 | Good leader |
| 4th | 7 | Developing leader |
| 5th+ | 5 | Needs development |
The Problem: Different group sizes have different available score pools, creating an unfair comparison:
| Group Size | Peers to Score | Available Scores | Expected Average (ฮผ) | Std Dev (ฯ) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 4 | 10, 9, 8, 7 | 8.500 | 1.118 |
| 6 | 5 | 10, 9, 8, 7, 5 | 7.800 | 1.720 |
| 7 (baseline) | 6 | 10, 9, 8, 7, 5, 5 | 7.333 | 1.886 |
| 8 | 7 | 10, 9, 8, 7, 5, 5, 5 | 7.000 | 1.927 |
| 9 | 8 | 10, 9, 8, 7, 5, 5, 5, 5 | 6.750 | 1.920 |
| 10 | 9 | 10, 9, 8, 7, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 | 6.556 | 1.892 |
โ ๏ธ Without normalization: A student performing "average" in a group of 5 would receive ~8.5, while an equally average performer in a group of 10 would receive ~6.2 โ a difference of 2.3 points through no fault of their own.
2. The Solution: Z-Score Normalization
We use standardized (Z-score) normalization to place all students on a fair, comparable scale regardless of their group size.
Step 1: Calculate Z-Score
Z = (Raw Score - ฮผgroup) / ฯgroup
Step 2: Convert to Normalized Score
Normalized = ฮผbaseline + (Z ร ฯbaseline)
Where:
- ฮผgroup = Expected average for the student's group size (from table above)
- ฯgroup = Standard deviation of available scores for that group size
- ฮผbaseline = 7.333 (expected average for group of 7, our reference point)
- ฯbaseline = 1.886 (standard deviation for group of 7)
3. Worked Examples
Example A: Student in Group of 5
Raw average received: 8.0
Group parameters: ฮผ = 8.500, ฯ = 1.118
Z-score: (8.0 - 8.500) / 1.118 = -0.447 (slightly below group average)
Normalized: 7.333 + (-0.447 ร 1.886) = 6.49
Example B: Student in Group of 10
Raw average received: 7.0
Group parameters: ฮผ = 6.556, ฯ = 1.892
Z-score: (7.0 - 6.556) / 1.892 = +0.235 (above group average)
Normalized: 7.333 + (0.235 ร 1.886) = 7.78
โ Result: Student B, despite having a lower raw score (7.0 vs 8.0), correctly ranks higher because they performed better relative to what was possible in their group.
4. Mathematical Properties
- Mean-preserving: A student scoring exactly at their group's expected average will receive the baseline score (7.33)
- Variance-adjusted: Accounts for different score spreads in different group sizes
- Rank-preserving within groups: Students' relative positions within their group are maintained
- Linear transformation: Preserves the relative distances between scores
5. Limitations & Considerations
- Assumes honest scoring: The model assumes all scorers use the full range appropriately
- Group composition effects: A strong student in a group of strong students may score lower than in a weaker group
- Small sample sizes: With few reviews, individual scores have high variance
- Cross-session comparison: Different group compositions each session mean normalized scores are most meaningful when aggregated
